I’m a big quitter at heart. In middle school I signed up for track and made it through about a week before I timidly knocked on my mom’s bedroom door one morning and told her I wasn’t going to go anymore. My reason? Um, I had to get up early and there seemed to be running involved. (I wasn’t the brightest child.)
This weekend I came across one of those inspirational plaques in a store (we all know I’m a fan of those) and Snarky Girl reared her ugly head again. The original looked something like this (I can’t change the ‘you are wrong’ underlines):
My version? More like this:
Luckily, I saw a kid tonight who is not a quitter! He had turned his bike into a one-man snowplow. He had a snow shovel wedged onto the handlebar of his bike and was stuck in a drift, but he just kept peddling. You go, kid.
And what if my goal is to date Angelina Jolie? If I took Winston Churchill’s advice, I’d probably be labeled as a stalker and have a restraining order against me.
…or I would be dating Angelina Jolie. Does anybody have her email address?
I hear she likes guys named Brad.
But you would have more luck snagging her if you were married to some girl named Jen. Maybe make marrying some Jen an intermediate goal.
Ooh…ouch. Poor Jen.
If you date Angelina Jolie, that would mean that Brad Pitt would be available…. hmmm………
I say go for it.
The image of the snow plow boy that could, cracked me up so much I had to read it aloud to my Husband and Mom…they broke down too then continued on a bit longer than I thought was due. Joke was on me though as they both replied they could imagine me trying the one man plow contraption…that it was something I’d do….NOW. sigh
